| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicting two gold prospectors engaged in dry blowing, a traditional Australian gold rush technique for separating alluvial gold from sand and dirt in arid conditions. One figure is seated operating the dry blowing apparatus while a second prospector stands pouring material from a dish, with the sandy ground rendered in fine detail beneath them. The Perth Mint 'P' mintmark appears in the lower right field. The circular legend 'THE AUSTRALIAN NUGGET 1/25 OZ. 9999 GOLD' arcs around the upper periphery, with the date '2002' appearing at the base, all within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Dry Blowing" release belongs to Perth Mint's long-running Prospector Nugget series, which began in 1986 as Australia's answer to the South African Krugerrand's dominance of the bullion market. By 2002, the series had expanded well beyond its original nugget-imagery roots into depictions of actual goldfield techniques. Dry blowing — separating alluvial gold from sand using wind rather than water — was a necessity on the arid inland fields of Western Australia where water was simply unavailable, particularly around the Murchison and Goldfields regions.
At 1/25 oz, this is the smallest denomination in the Nugget fractional range.
